Frosty Arrow

Chapter 23

When Thea arrived at the orphanage, she found that the SPCD was already on the scene.

"Thea, what are you doing here?" Quentin asked.

"I was talking to Nora Darhk on the phone when suddenly the line went dead. I'm guessing it's not a coincidence." Thea said and Quentin nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, she was abducted about 15 minutes ago." Quentin said.

"How is this possible. I thought she was in protective services." Thea said worriedly.

"She was, the orphanage staff have no idea who did it. Especially since Nora was relatively left alone." Quentin said.

"I'm going to ask Felicity to do some digging, see if we can figure out who took her." Thea said.

"Be my guest." Quentin said, since he knew that the cops wouldn't exactly be eager to rescue Damien Darhk's daughter.

"Wait, Nora Darhk was kidnapped?" Oliver asked after Thea told him, John, Laurel and Felicity what happened.

"Yeah, we promised her mother that we'd keep her safe." Thea said as Oliver gently placed a hand on his sister's shoulder.

"Hey, we'll find her. I promise." Oliver said and Thea nodded.

"Okay so I'm already hacked into the orphanage's security footage and I think I found something that might help." Felicity said as she revealed that all the cameras in the orphanage all went dark for a few minutes at the same time.

"Well that's not a coincidence." Oliver said.

"Agreed, especially since this happened at the same time my call with Nora cut out." Thea said as she moved to walk out.

"Where are you going?" Laurel asked.

"To tell Ruve that her daughter is missing. She deserves to know." Thea said as she walked out of the bunker.

"Well, you were not the Queen I was expecting to visit me in my confinement." Ruve said as Thea was let into the visitation room in Argus.

"Well, there's something that's happened that I think you should know about." Thea said.

"What is it?" Ruve asked.

"Nora, she's been kidnapped." Thea said and Ruve blanched.

"What happened?" Ruve asked.

"I don't know. I was talking to her on the phone, the next thing I know, the line goes dead and she's missing." Thea said.

"Why were you talking to my daughter on the phone?" Ruve asked.

"Because I don't know about you, but I don't think an orphanage is the best place for Nora to finish growing up. She needs to be with someone who actually understands what she's going through and considering that I was her age when my dad died and it sent me down a dark path. I think Nora deserves a chance to leave behind a better legacy than her family did. No offense." Thea said.

"None taken. But you really care about my daughter don't you?" Ruve asked.

"Yes, I do. I think that Nora is a good kid and with the right influence, she can be a good person." Thea said.

"You promise that you'll bring her back" Ruve asked.

"I promise that Team Arrow is already working to find out what happened to her and we will bring her back. But, do you have any ideas on who could be responsible?" Thea asked and Ruve leaned her head back in consideration.

"Tell your brother to look into Reddington. He'll know what it means. It might help narrow down your search." Ruve said and Thea nodded.

"Thank you Ruve." Thea said as she got up to leave.

"Thea." Ruve said, causing the young woman to look at her.

"What" Thea asked.

"Promise me you'll bring my daughter to visit." Ruve said.

"I will." Thea promised as she walked out.
